    not impressed...

    That's the whole failing on reading the "good" builds. You have to read between the lines. People with mad mechanical skill can do a lot for cheap but it takes a lot of time and attention to the details. After reading for years about all the troubles and mishaps, I find most occurred due to an...

    how does my parts list look???

    rc injectors 1000cc <--- Are these the older or newer technology. I haven't seen anyone commenting on how well these run. I went with what was recommended in almost everything I read and bought the Injector Dynamic 1000 cc injectors just because of their overall control. They have a huge range...

    how does my parts list look???

    Mine passed that a long time ago.. rofl. (mind you.. all of my work has been done by a fairly expensive shop.)

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Best to move this to the tech section, they don't always look here.. and most of my solutions are "best guesses"...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Scheduled r154 for stage 2 build at jack transmission (very excited about having a trany I can shift properly), saw the 1000 cc injectors installed (suhweet), thumbed up the sp6265 sitting pretty on the silver ceramic coated hks long runner manifold, bought a turbo blanket to keep my hood from...

    The exhaust is probably the first best upgrade. It won't mess with anything engine wise but will allow it to breathe correctly. If I was to change anything on the Supra, that would be the one thing.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    No idea if that's what is causing your problem.. just a red flag when I read "I cleaned my AFM". Usually from what I have read, it just causes poor idle. My worry is that you have done a lot of upgrades so its going to be harder to backtrack the system to find the issue. I cant help you because...

    Anyone ever used this place for a rebuilt R154?

    Bit the bullet, pulling my R154 and sending it to this place for a Stage2 rebuild plus asking them to upgrade the first gear thrust washer. Will let you know in about a month how it goes. (well.. maybe 2.. because snow will be on the ground and they estimate a 3-4 week turn around.)

    It has a N in the VIN which designates it as a 92, but it is august 1991. To me that's a 91. Oct/nov I could see, but August?

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3,...NOW FOUR!

    I thought sealer (internal) was no longer available for car gas tanks. I wanted to deal mine a couple years back and they told me that wasn't done using their sealer because today's gas eats it. Don't know if that's the case but the one I wanted I couldn't use even though the web advert said it...

    Even with minimal pictures I find build threads are good car diaries. You can look back after a few years and see the huge difference, plus you get little ego boosts to help you when you start wondering "why".

    My 91 ford f150 says 91 on the door but is a 92. Caused some problems registering my truck... Lol.

    not impressed...

    I could run 14-18 psi with my 57 Trim CT26 and stock intercooler.. no issues. It was when I added the 60-1 and upgraded the intercooler that things went wonky. Simple solution... T4.. standalone... done deal.

    Anyone ever used this place for a rebuilt R154?

    As it turns out, 2 trans are on their way from the shop my car is in.. so... mine will be accompanying them. Going to be sooooo nice to be able to normal shift 1-2-3 and 3-2-1 again.. lol.

    Anyone ever used this place for a rebuilt R154?

    http://www.jackstransmissions.com/collections/supra-v160-rebuild-options was going to send to Driftmotion for a rebuild, but this looks just as good and I would deal directly with the rebuilder. Anyone heard or had dealings with them? They look good.

    having a hard time making a choice looking for some opinions...

    I wouldn't touch either really. Its not like there is a shortage of quality cars to buy instead. I took almost 2 years to buy my Supra. In the end, 3-5 years later, I would have bought different now that I know the car bumper to bumper. The key is to get a car that either a. your going to...

    not impressed...

    I had fuel cut on my 60-1 with the upgraded intercooler but Im not sure why. It would cut out right when the turbo spiked and then slap back on (kind of like a bang) and start pulling hard. I had to play with my boost controller to even it out and in the end, I couldn't boost 14 psi+ without...
